Capital preservation is the only holy grail in trading. How to eliminate emotional attachment to losing trades.
The Ego vs. The Market
The market does not know you. It does not care about your mortgage, your aspirations, or your ego. It is an impartial mechanism of wealth transfer.
The biggest differentiator between our Elite members and the 95% who fail is not strategy—it is the stoic acceptance of a stop-loss.
The Sunk Cost Fallacy in F&O
When a retail trader enters a trade, they mentally spend the profit before securing it. When the trade goes against them, closing it means accepting a failure. This triggers the sunk cost fallacy.
Institutional Risk Management
At THE CAPITAL GURU, trading is not an emotional endeavor; it is algorithmic accounting.
- Every setup has a predefined invalidation point.
- Once the invalidation point is breached, the premise of the trade is false.
- Holding a trade based on a false premise is gambling.
We never risk more than 1% to 2% of our capital on a single setup.
